This tour was advertised as using a shuttle bus. I asked what the seat belt situation was and in their response the company told me that they didn’t know which bus would be assigned that day, but that all buses had either shoulder or lap belts. Less than 24 hours beforehand, we received a message that van 141 would be our transportation for our trip. No where did it state that a van might be one of the options. I asked if car seats were required and/or provided. No one responded. When we showed up for the tour, the driver told us that they sometimes provide car seats, but they didn’t send a van with them that day. I purchased an infant and toddler ticket, so not sure how this wasn’t addressed. It was also never noted that we should bring our own car seats if we wanted our kids in them. Passenger vans are statistically much less safe than buses. Had I known I would be expected to put my children in one unrestrained prior to the 24 hour free cancellation, I absolutely would have cancelled the tour. We didn’t end up going because of safety concerns. I called the company to ask for a refund and while they acknowledged I was right in all of my reasoning, they refused to provide a refund. So basically they changed up the advertised venue after the free cancellation period then refused to provide a refund when we didn’t want their new, unsafe option. Completely ridiculous and terrible customer service. Run away fast.
This provides access to the lakes only. No time for canoe rentals. Pack a lunch. As long as you’re not expecting a “tour guide” around the lake, this is perfectly fine. Tip the driver. 10 CAD per person. Don’t be cheap
Not good . They cancel last min our actual time and than when we booked they said it’s 5-6 hour time and each lake they gave us 2 hour but they only gave us 1 hour.. 🙄🙄🙄
While the itinerary was good, our "tour guide" was only a bus driver. Other reviews of this trip all raved about their tour guide who was informative, interesting and told lots of stories. We got total silence except when we arrived at our stop and he announced what time we needed to be back on the bus. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were gorgeous!
The driver/guide is not fluent in English at all and he did not provide much guide for the whole trip. He is only concerned about the tip and he even requested $10 tip per person. The trip started about half hour later 8:50 am (originally scheduled at 8:345 am)
Great customer service when there’s any issue, very friendly driver full of knowledge, easy drop of points to reach the lakes
At CAD $80 per person, this compared very favourably to some of other tour operators. Our driver, jazzy had a really nice sense of humour. We got to spend plenty of time in Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. All in all, a good trip
Bus was on time and we went to both lakes. He allowed us time to walk around the lake viewpoints. He was very polite.
Shuttle service was very good. Driver was at pick up point on time and got to and from Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. The lakes themselves were not what I expected. They were not the rich blue waters that you see in pictures nor could you see the mountains in the background. Instead, we were greeted with smoke filled skies caused by the forest fires. If it weren't for the smoke I am sure that the lakes would have been as beautiful as the pictures I have seen. I would still recommend the shuttle trip for those who want a short, 1.5 hour, self guided tour of the lakes. There is time to go inside the Fairmont Hotel at Lake Louise and a short walk down the lakeside but not enough time to get something to eat at the hotel. The same can be said for the stop at Lake Loraine except you might be able to get a quick bite at the small restaurant. For us the time at both lakes was enough but if you are wanting to take one of the long walks at the lakes then you will need tour that offers you more time. Hope that if you go the skies are clear and you experience the blue waters of the lakes.
Just a bus without a guide to go see Lake Louise and Moraine. Way too expensive for what is offered. Furthermore, the time spent at each lake is much too short compared to the possible walks in the surrounding area
